Feeling Intimidated to Deploy Biometrics Door Access Controllers? 6 Interesting Facts about Ingressus Controller
For FingerTec customers who are familiar with biometrics terminals like R2, Kadex and R3 deployment and the way they are configured, the introduction of door controllers in the mix might confuse them up. Many have chosen to stick to the way things are and not keen to learn about this new system. Let’s have an open mind and learn about the potential of controllers for you can serve a portion of your clients that are looking for this kind of setup. Knowing the benefits of the controller can bring your door access business to another level.
First thing first, what is a controller? The concept of master and slave remains true in the deployment of door controllers where the controller is the master, and the biometrics/card readers are the slaves working for the master. Basically, in a controller setup environment, you need to connect the slaves to the controller and let the controller controls everything. Get it?
Let’s figure out 6 interesting facts about FingerTec's Ingressus controllers.
Cost Effective – To install master readers like R2 or R3 at all doors in a multi-door environment could be expensive because practically you need one master and one slave at all doors that you want to secure. Door controllers like FingerTec’s Ingressus have a few types which you can choose either to have a one-door, two-door or four-door installation. In short, you only need one master (Ingressus) for a two-door or a four-door installation. This can cut your implementation cost by around 13-20%, providing a more economical and cost effective option for your clients who want to mix and match the devices but simultaneously get the most effective system for their door access control.
Device & Data Centralized – In any door access control system, apart from the facility to provide a controlled environment, it also has to provide the audit trails of access activities to define its effectiveness. A controller solution like FingerTec’s Ingressus has been designed to gather all the access data received from the slave devices, which then can be pulled into the bundled software for a complete overview of the access security situation.
Scalable – The cost of access controller implementation is 13-20% lower than of the regular master-slave whole reader, and in addition to that, a controller such as Ingressus has a few types in its series, Ingressus I for one door installation, Ingressus II for two doors installation and Ingressus IV designed for a four door environment. You can scale the deployment of the controller to your requirements to make the best out of your budget, and at any time you can expand the deployment to larger areas by adding a few more.
Can be integrated with other solutions – A complete security system usually makes up for a few separate systems including door access control, surveillance cameras, alarm system and many more. Using a controller like FingerTec’s Ingressus, you can consolidate all these systems in one Ingress system and control them all from one centralized location.
Easy Installation and Configuration - Like many other new gadgets and electronic appliances, the installation and configuration must be user-friendly. FingerTec’s Ingressus works that way as well where no guessing game is required because the device is equipped with readily available I/O ports for user’s convenience, and it comes complete with user guides and tips to assist you in system deployment.
Last but certainly not least, Ingressus has many Amazing Door Access Functions embedded in it including Surge Protection, Interlock Function, Antipassback and many more. When all functions of a door access system are centralized in one device, the purchase of it is definitely worth the investment. All Ingressus purchase is bundled with the powerful door access software Ingress for a comprehensive management of access data on MySQL or MSAccess platform.

INGRESS WILL IMPRESS: MAKE THAT SWITCH NOW!
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” might hold true to some cases but to continue with a less viable system when the new and powerful system is readily available at NO COST to you is definitely not a good business decision anytime.
Over a decade ago, FingerTec
introduced TCMS V2 as Time Control Management System for all FingerTec products
and over the years this software has gained attention and trust of the markets
for its comprehensive time attendance and its simple door access features. But change is always inevitable.
By the end of 2012, the
company has steered its direction towards Cloud-based solution for its time
attendance segment of the business, enriching the software features to suit to
today’s most sought-after workforce requirements and bringing the solution to
the cloud platform that we named TimeTec Cloud.
Alongside this move, the
company has geared up to strengthen its position in the access control and security industry, moving towards the vertical market share. The company develops access controllers and its management software to match the standards of the access security industry. Extensive research and development were carried out and as a
result, we initiated a solution loaded with extensive features of door access
solutions.
This perfect solution for FingerTec door access system was introduced by the name INGRESS.
INGRESS indeed is
monumental to the brand's image as it will be our main software that spearheads FingerTec’s
door access solutions. The TCMS V2's ratio of 8:2 in terms of Time Attendance and Door
Access feature is not suitable anymore for our customers who are targeting door
access segment of the market and as so, many great access features are wasted by those who choose to stay put with TCMS V2.
Ingress should be THE solution, hands down, for it
has 3 times or even more door access features compared to TCMS V2 and it has ALL the Time Attendance features of TCMS V2 plus 10% more, making it
a superior software for your door access system. If your business focus is on access market, choosing Ingress over TCMS V2 is second to none, it's no longer an option that you could make.
At this opportunity, I’m
urging you, our esteemed resellers and customers to make the switch to Ingress to
experience its superiority. To ease the transition, we have prepared migration tool that would help you in your data migration process from TCMS V2 to Ingress smoothly. We don't have it in reverse though for we want to encourage you to experience and stay with Ingress software. We also encourage those who are using time attendance model to switch to Ingress because Ingress has all the features that TCMS V2 have and we will continue adding features on Ingress while TCMS V2's development will only be limited on bug fixes.
I couldn’t discount the fact that you are more familiar with TCMS V2 and to change that would mean that you have to take baby steps to learn and train your customers to follow. Nevertheless, the change is inevitable for the growth and the goal that we are aiming for in this segment of the market.

I also would like to stress
that come October 2014, it’ll no longer be an option for you to select either TCMS or Ingress
for your door access solutions. We’ll impose a policy whereby all door access products will be bundled with Ingress and a fee will be
charged to obtain TCMSv2 software for your door access products. Though there
is still time before the policy is activated, I strongly recommend that you start the switch now, learn about Ingress,
know its features and benefits, learn its tips and tricks, and start pushing it
to your door access customers. If you are not confident, the trial version is available to give you that boost. While you are there, learn also about our powerful Ingressus series controllers that will bring access control to another level.
We have worked hard to present
you the best solution for access control and it's time for us to give you that nudge to switch.

Transformation That Reshapes Habitual Behavior
I wrote about Microsoft’s transformation last month after Satya Nadella was named the new CEO of Microsoft, but talked scantily about our own transformation even though we’re very much at the crossroad of our self-stirred transformation. Right. Why should I bother about transformation, even if Microsoft failed to transform? I should have minded my own business.
Some of my staff commented that our glory is still in progressive manner, and we don’t have external forces like Microsoft to push us; do we really need this transformation?
